The bill establishes new standards for sanitary and storm water systems in Florida counties and municipalities by creating sections 125.5695 and 166.04815 of the Florida Statutes. It mandates that all sanitary and storm water systems, including laterals, sewer pipes, storm pipes, and manhole covers, must adhere to the state Department of Transportation's annual Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, specifically the sections on "Pipe Culverts" and "Pipe Liner." Additionally, the bill requires that final inspections for these systems be conducted by a licensed engineer, general contractor, or an independent third-party inspection company, rather than the current licensed operator of the job.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that these new installation and inspection standards will supersede any existing local standards in both counties and municipalities. It also includes a declaration that the act serves an important state interest and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
